n a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 372 green peas and 35 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3 4 that was expected?

Complete Question

In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 372 green peas and 35 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?

The  probability is  

No it is not close to the probability expected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  

      The  number of  green peas is  

    The  number of  yellow  peas is  

The  probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is mathematically represented as

substituting values

The  expected probability is  

But what we got is  

So we can say that the value obtained is not equal to the expected value

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
